Sorry that I didn't update for a while, but I have been super busy! This chapter will be another R27 fluff chapter :) I'll postpone the Varia meeting until the next chapter, so please don't be disappointed :)
The solution to my last riddle was actually Hibari! I think I need to make them clearer...I hope I managed to do that :D
Alright, enjoy~
A young man who stood among elders
expectations weighting on his small and slender shoulders.
The burden, so great, too much to bear?
His eyes full of childish innocence and fear.
Too young to be a leader already,
What will his future be like? Bright? Or rather...deadly?
'-una! Tsuna! Wake up, dame-Tsuna!'
WHACK!
'OW! Reborn! Ara? Are we here already?'
Tsuna sat up in his seat and noticed that the limousine had stopped moving. While rubbing the blinking bump on top of his head, the young brunette looked outside the window. His hazel eyes widened and his mouth fell open when his gaze fell on a huge mansion like building that was surrounded by high fences with wires on top of them. The building reminded Tsuna of a haunted house , which immediately caused goose bumps to appear all over the boy's body and shivers running down his back.
'W-Wow...this must be the 'castle of doom'...'
WHACK!
'Dame-Tsuna! Are you finally done gaping at the house? We need to get going already. Thanks to your heavy sleeping habits, we are late as it is to the meeting.*grumble*'
Tsuna looked back and forth between his spartan tutor and the haunted house with fear clearly displayed in his expressive eyes.
'B-But Reborn! Umm...c-can't the meeting be taking place somewhere...a little brighter? Maybe...at the beach or somewhere with..more people around?'
A dark look passed over Reborn's face.
'And why would the meeting be rearranged to a different place? What is it with this setting that you seem to dislike so much?'
Reborn cracked his knuckles and glared at his charge.
'Umm...umm...y-you s-s-see...THE HOUSE IS PRACTICALLY IN A DEEP FORREST WITH NO PEOPLE AROUND AND IT LOOKS LIKE A HAUNTED HOUSE! IT MUST BE THE CASTLE OF DOOM AND NO ONE WILL HEAR MY SCREAMS!REBORN, WE WILL CERTAINLY DIE WHEN WE GO INTO THIS HELL OF A MANSION!'
SHOTSHOTSHOTSHOTSHOTSHOT
'HHHHHHIIIII! Please don't shoot me anymore! I-I'm sorry!'
'Tch, dame-Tsuna you are so pathetic...being scared of a mere house. Now move it already, we need to get going!'
'NOOOOOO! I don't want to!'
With that Tsuna clung to the seat, while Reborn was pulling at Tsuna's legs and tried to drag him out of the car by his feet.
'TSUNA! You're acting like a little kid!'
'Maybe I AM a little kid. Not even ten horses will be enough to get me into the castle of doom! NOOO!'
Reborn suddenly let go of Tsuna's legs, causing the smaller teen to fall back into the car.
'I am fed up with your insolence. Now, you will have to be punished...'
With that Reborn slowly moved closer to the open car door, a dark and evil aura surrounding him. His eyes were completely shadowed by his black fedora. He reached into his suit...
Tsuna on the other hand seemed to get smaller by every step Reborn took into his direction. His evil aura was overwhelming him, almost like he could actually touch it.
'He..he...Reborn. You...wouldn't actually...h-hurt little old me? W-Would y-you?'
Tsuna gulped, his eyes watering in fear of his tutor.
'R-Rebor- ITAAAAAAAAAAAIII!'
Tsuna was now sitting on the pavement on the other side of the car, while wailing and rubbing his abused behind.
(A/N:You want to know what happened to him right? So here it is...) Reborn had reached into the car and grabbed Tsuna by his shirt collar. Then he had turned him around in one fluid movement and actually...smacked his behind with his foot! He had kicked him through the fortunately open car door on the other side, making him land where he is sitting now and wailing.
Reborn had quickly closed the car doors and the limousine drove off.
Now Reborn was walking towards the building, his charge dragged behind him by his collar.
'Reborn! I get it already*cough*. I'll come. I'll come, *cough*So please let go of me now'
Reborn complied, making Tsuna try to catch his breath, because the older man had chocked him by dragging him by his collar.
'You could have had it easy, but nooo~ you always play so hard to get.'
Reborn was downright laughing inside his mind, while only a smirk managed to raise his lips on the outside. (A/N: Reborn is in a playful mood today isn't he~ XD)
Tsuna on the other hand was looking like a kicked puppy, with his ears pressed tightly on top of his head and his tail curled around his leg. Huge tears were running down his caramel eyes and quiet sobs and whimpers escaped his throat.
The small brunette walked slowly behind Reborn, his feet dragging.
Suddenly Reborn felt a pang of guilt stab him in his heart.
'Aww...dammit! Now feel guilty for making Tsuna look so sad and unhappy...maybe I went a little over broad with the punishment back there...'
Tsuna felt horrible right now. His behind hurt, his neck hurt and he was scared. On top of that Reborn was mad at him and he didn't know where his friends went off to.
'I caused so much trouble again for Reborn. But I really do NOT want to go into that building. I have a bad feeling about this...'
'Tsuna.'
The brunette walked on.
'Tsuna!'
He still walked on his head down casted.
'DAME-TSUNA!'
'Huh? What?'
BOUNCE
Tsuna had walked right into Reborn who he had stopped walking and was now facing his way.
Because of the sudden collision, Tsuna suddenly fell backwards. He closed his eyes in fright of the impact.
But after some seconds, no pain followed.
'Huh? Why didn't I fall?'
'Because I caught you, dame-Tsuna. Isn't that obvious?'
Tsuna looked up and suddenly blushed beet red.
When he had looked up, he came face to face with Reborn's own face, which was very, very close. He could feel their noses gently brush each other's.
Tsuna fidgeted in nervousness, squirming and wiggling.
'HIII! Reborn!'
'Don't move so much, or we're both gonna fal-!'
CRASH!
'-fall...*sigh*...I guess it's too late now.'
'I'm s-so sorry, Reborn!'
Tsuna tried to get up, but Reborn who had fallen on top of him, was too heavy, so he was trapped under him.
'Reborn...umm...I...I can't move. You're too...heavy.'
Reborn didn't bother to move in the slightest. He kinda felt comfortable laying there...
'What? Are you implying that I'm fat, dame-Tsuna?'
'HHIIIIIIII! No of course not! I-It's just because you are so much taller than me and bigger and you have so much more muscle than me!'
'Oh, and how do you know that? Have you...been watching me secretly, while I was undressing?'
Reborn was chuckling inside his mind. His charge was just so much fun to tease and make fun of.
'N-No, NO WAY! I didn't...I mean, I did...but it was an accident...not that you don't have an attractive body to look at...NO I didn't mean it that way! I-I mean...I...umm...'
And then, Reborn exploded. He tried so desperately to hold back his laughter, but he had reached his limits. His body was shaking with his laughter, tears were rolling down his face. He instantly put his hand over his mouth to refrain any sound from escaping.
Tsuna mistook the shaking of Reborn's body as anger and became more agitated.
'I-I am sorry Reborn! I-I didn't mean to offend you or make you mad again. I am so sorry!'
But then, the sound of a chuckle reached Tsuna's ears, making them perk up at the foreign sound.
'R-Reborn? A-Are you...could you be...laughing?'
Reborn tried to compose himself and to cover his slip up with a cough.
'N-No way *cough*. W-Why would I be laughing dame-Tsuna?'
Some seconds later Reborn had managed to compose himself and get his outburst under control. He slowly got on his knees, his elbows rested on either side of Tsuna's head.
The brunette had a confused look on his face, his eyes wide and shining with his child-like innocence.
'C-Cute...'
'Tsuna, I'm...sorry for before. I hadn't meant to explode on you that much and*cough* kick you through the door. I'm not always the greatest at expressing myself, so please understand. And...please tell me when there is something on your mind. I'll try to listen. And...don't worry about going into the 'castle of doom' as you call it. I am with you and your ...friends...are already moved into their arranged rooms inside the house. You are not alone, Tsuna. We are all here with you.'
Tsuna had tears running down his face by now. Soft whimpers escaped his throat.
Reborn had his eyes covered by his fedora in embarrassment, hiding his faint blush. He quickly hurried to get up from his crouching position, but was prevented to do so when two slender arms pulled him back down.
'Uff!'
'Reborn! Reborn! T-Thank you so much. I...I lo-...I really like you so much!'
Reborn was lying on top of Tsuna, in his embrace.
The blush spread wider and wider over his tanned cheeks.
'He...really likes me? I...I don't know what to say to that. No one has ever told me that before...'
'Tsuna. Let me up already. Or do you plan to stay here the whole day? You know we need to attend a meeting.'
Tsuna loosened his arms around Reborn's neck, so Reborn hoisted himself up on his knees and arms again.
Tsuna felt a sudden wave of sadness course through him at hearing Reborn's words. He turned his head to the side, letting his bangs hide his eyes.
'Maybe...he...doesn't like me. What did I expect...'
'Tsuna.'
Tsuna turned his head unwillingly in Reborn's direction and then...felt a soft touch on his forehead.
'E-EHH?'
Reborn had pressed a gentle kiss on Tsuna's forehead, causing a huge blush to spread over his round cheeks.
'I...like you too, dame-Tsuna.'
With that Reborn quickly got to his feet, rearranging his fedora on top of his head to hide his face.
Tsuna on the other hand was still so surprised and overwhelmed from what had happened only moments before, that he remained lying on the ground.
Suddenly a hand appeared in Tsuna's line of vision. He looked up from the offered hand, to Reborn, who had his head turned away from him.
'Get up already dame-Tsuna. We need to hurry up.'
A smile spread over Tsuna's face, lighting up his small appearance.
'Thank you Reborn!'
With that he took the offered hand and let himself be pulled to his feet.
When Tsuna was finally standing again, their hands remained locked for a few more moments longer than necessary.
When they eventually had to part, the both of them felt the other's touch linger on their palms.
If you liked it, please review :D It would make me happy :)
Have a nice day~
